It is doubtful that there is another journal about an airport restaurant anywhere on this site. No one ever intentionally goes to an airport to eat, but it's good to know where there is something other than fast food if you are stuck for a couple of hours between flights and you're hungry for real food. Daily Grill is a chain of "modern, upscale" diners throughout Los Angeles. (I believe the first was in Beverly Hills.) The branch at the airport has the same menu and similar decor to the others. It is an actual sit-down restaurant with cloth napkins and efficient table service. The wood paneling and glass dividers between booths remind me of a dining car on an old train. You can also eat "outside" and watch the people go by. The menu has a varied selection of modernized diner food like hot turkey sandwiches, chicken pot pie, meatloaf and mashed potatoes (a specialty), big burgers, etc. There are also several meal-sized and small-sized salads along with appetizers and an array of cold sandwiches. I thought the Caesar salad was especially good -- you can get it with chicken or just as a lettuce salad. The chicken pot pie is full of big chunks of white meat chicken and carrots, with a rich cream sauce. It is served in a bowl, with a crisp top crust covering it, but no bottom crust to get all soggy. Prices are a bit high (at least $10 for most things) but portions are big and the quality is above-average, especially for airport dining. There is also a full bar across the walkway.

A shuttle bus loops from terminal to terminal (the airport is U-shaped), so you don't even have to walk from your terminal to the international one (which is at the bottom of the U). Daily Grill isn't fine dining, but it certainly is better than the fare in the other terminals, and it is a more pleasant place to pass the time than in some of the terminals, which are downright shabby.
